The TD Charitable Foundation, funded by TD Bank, recently donated a total of $5,000 to Blue Ridge Humane Society as part of the bank's commitment to giving back to the community.

The BRHS is a nonprofit animal welfare organization committed to improving the quality of life of animals in Henderson County through adoption, collaboration and community education.

Since its incorporation in 1950, BRHS has operated the Animal Rescue and Adoption Center as well as a thrift store, which primarily supports BRHS initiatives.

Funds from the TD Charitable Foundation will create the Animal Rescue Food and Service Bank. Starting in 2013, it will offer Henderson County pet owners $200 vouchers for food, medicine and veterinary services.

Ever wondered how to gain more customers from online advertising on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing?

The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce is encouraging people to attend an educational seminar presented by Bobby Youngs, senior search engine marketing campaign strategist with Hibu, a leading search engine marketing and search engine optimization company on Nov. 29 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Chamber headquarters at 204 Kanuga Road.

This seminar will answer four important questions to help create an online marketing campaign: how does Google determine which websites appear first on search engine results; what are the most cost-effective ways to ensure my website is found by customers looking for my services online; how does Google determine costs paid by advertisers; what is the impact of local searches on mobile phones, and how do I take advantage of this growing mobile search trend?

Cost to attend is $10 for Chamber members, $25 for nonmembers. Please call 828-692-1413 or email chamber@hendersoncountychamber.org to register.
